WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- House Republican Whip
Roy Blunt (Mo.) issued the following statement today after Democrats
attempted once again to use a children's health program created by
Republicans to expand taxpayer-funded care to people who are neither
children nor poor -- and in some cases, not even in this country legally:

"Many of us had hoped the majority would take our concerns to heart and
come back with an SCHIP bill that extends quality health care to poor kids
first. Instead, we got a hastily assembled bill that few of us were given
an adequate chance to read -- resulting in a final product that addresses
none of the serious issues that have plagued the Democrats' plan from the
outset.

"The majority insists this is a bill about children's health, but the
plan we have before us would allow adults to remain eligible. The majority
insists the bill was crafted with the interests of poor kids in mind, but
it was written in a way that ensures families making as much as $73,000
remain on the rolls. And the majority insists that those here illegally
would no longer be in a position to collect taxpayer-funded benefits, but
the Social Security Administration has been clear that they will.

"If this bill truly represented a genuine compromise, we would've been
given more than a couple hours to read it. As it is, we voted on
legislation today that will never become law. And because of that, we
missed yet another opportunity to send the president a bill that's
committed to insuring poor kids first."
